America v. Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao: Scolari looking to make history

America will face Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao in the Club World Cup quarterfinals in Japan.

AFC Champions League winner Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao is out to make history at the Club World Cup, looking to become the first ever Asian club to make the final.

The Chinese Super League champion is arguably the strongest ever team from Asia to compete in the tournament, but faces a tough quarterfinal test in CONCACAF Champions League winners America.

Guangzhou is led by World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and boasts the likes of Paulinho, Robinho, Elkeson and Ricardo Goulart in its squad.
